Employment Verification

Ask a question

When you apply for a car loan or mortgage or apartment lease, as well as various government services, the lender must verify that you have a source of income – and, usually, how much you make.

Verifications used to happen this way: The lender made you sign a release form, which they then mailed to your employer. The employer had to complete the form and mail it back to the lender. This sometimes took days or weeks, and forms could easily get lost or misdirected, leading to impatience, frustration -- even the risk of losing your “perfect house” due to delay.

There’s a better way.

THE WORK NUMBER

Now, NC State participates in the nationwide “Work Number” system. It saves significant time and effort for everyone – employees, lenders, and employers.

“The Work Number” is a secure, automated service where employees can instantly certify their employment and income at NC State when they’re applying for a loan or service. Any lender or leasing agent can verify the employment and income for any non-student NCSU faculty and staff member (both regular and temp employees) within a matter of minutes.

The service is available 24/7 and can be used whenever you need to provide proof of employment or income.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

The employee controls the process. You pre-authorize the party that you want to be able to verify your income. The pre-authorization process is fast and easy and can be done online at www.theworknumber.com -- or by phone or fax to 1-800-367-5690.

EMPLOYER CODE: 13063

You simply provide the verifier with your social security number and NC State University’s unique Employer Code: 13063.

VERIFY YOUR INCOME with a “SALARY KEY”

If you want to verify your current salary in addition to verifying that you’re employed at NC State, you create a one-use “Salary Key.”

After a Salary Key is used for a one-time verification, it can’t be used again, but you can create new salary keys as needed. You create a unique Salary Key for each verifier who needs to verify your salary. If you provide your e-mail address, the Work Number notifies you when the verifier actually uses their Salary Key.

Click on “Employment/Income Verification” which can be found under Employee Self-Service. You will automatically be redirected to The Work Number website.

For NCSU student employees, including Work-Study and Student Temporary Employees:

Due to the sensitive nature of student data and related FERPA legislation, all work-study and temporary student employment verifications must be completed by the Human Resources Information Management department on campus at NCSU.
